Trivia
The quote that Papa shares with Avner when telling him that he is being hunted is loosely taken from Ecclesiastes 9:11: "I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all."

After getting the rights to George Jonas's book "Vengeance", Steven Spielberg commissioned three scripts: one from David Webb Peoples and Janet Peoples, one from Charles Randolph, and one from Eric Roth. Roth's script was chosen and subsequently revised by Tony Kushner, after Kushner first declined to co-write the screenplay; he felt it was too controversial and too complicated to be his first screenplay for a feature film.

Ephraim: We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about in a bank we've never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before.

Q
Who are the agents and what happens to them?
A
They are all agents connected with Mossad: (1) Avner Kaufman, a German- Israeli born soldier who is also a family man; he's the leader of the team, (2) Robert, a Belgian toy maker now turned bomb maker, (3) Hans, a document and identity forger, (4) Steve, a South African getaway driver, and (5) Carl, the clean up man who rids any evidence. Avner meets an attractive woman in the hotel bar and suspecting her intentions, he turns down her overtures and leaves the bar warning the incoming Carl about her as he does so. The next day, Avner finds Carl naked and shot in the back of the head in the woman's hotel room. Hans is found stabbed to death on a park bench (the agents never find out why). Robert is killed by a bomb accident in his workshop after it explodes. After the attempted assassination of Salameh, Steve resigns from Mossad and Avner returns home to New York to his family, traumatized and tired from murdering people.
Q
Who are the targets that the agents have to eliminate?
A
There are 11 of them: Wadie Haddad, Abu Daoud, Mahmoud Hamshari, Wael Zwaiter, Dr. Basil al-Kubaisi, Kamal Nasser, Kemal Adwan, Abu Youssef, Mohammed Boudia, Hussein al-Chir, and Ali Hassan Salameh.
